Line 6a. A Pension Equity Plan (PEP) is a DB plan which,
rather than or in addition to expressing the accrued benefit as
a life annuity commencing at normal retirement age, defines
benefits for each employee as an amount equal to an
accumulated percentage of final pay. Benefits are generally
described as a percentage of final pay with the percentage
determined as the accumulation of percentage points or
lump-sum credits received for each year of service.
Generally, the accumulated percentage points or lump-sum
credits are multiplied by final average or career average
compensation to determine the lump-sum amount.
A cash balance plan is a DB plan which, rather than or in
addition to expressing the accrued benefit as a life annuity
commencing at normal retirement age, defines benefits for
each employee in terms more common to a DC plan, that is,
as a single-sum distribution amount equal to the employee’s
hypothetical account balance. Benefits consist of an
accumulation of hypothetical allocation credits to an account
plus hypothetical accumulated interest credits on that
account.
Note. A termination/reestablishment transaction occurs
when an employer terminates an overfunded DB plan,
receives the excess assets, and then establishes a new
DB plan covering the active employee.
